PACS STRATUS 2003• left Manta Ecuador, went to 85W line, traveled south to 20S• stayed at WHOI buoy from Nov. 15 – 21 (12 UTC)• traveled east along 20S to Arica Chile• data taken Nov. 13 – Nov. 24
Differences from the (October) EPIC 2001 cruise:• fewer & thinner clouds & less drizzle,particularly at the buoy (now at stratus deck edge)• diurnal cycle in large-scale subsidence in
inversion/cloud-top height weaker?• SSTs ~ 1K warmer; cloudbase higher
Aerosol measurements taken (new) but no C-band radar

Above-BL moisture appears to subside into the BL, separated by ~ 4 days, coinciding with a rising
cloud top and drizzle at surface (JD 324).
Pink indicates radar-derived cloud top

BL winds from SE, above-BL-winds more variable (synoptics?)
Both virtual potential temperature and LCL show influence of drizzle

Clouds at buoy thin compared to the rest of the cruise (and to EPIC 2001)

Chris Fairall’s simple aerosol counter compares well to Don Collins’ aerosol measurements (r>0.1 micron)

Aerosol indirect effectWithin well-mixed non-precipitating clouds, expect
lnr/lnN = 0.3 sometimes it’s there, sometimes not

What is the relationship between drizzle, aerosol, and liquid water path ?

As well as surface fluxes….
